The Fritz Hansen Egg Chair was initially crafted for the renowned SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Its creator, Arne Jacobsen, aimed to create a design that would stand out from the building’s stern, modernist exterior. Thus, he conceived the Egg Chair, which boasts soft and flowing curves.
Carefully curated by the Fritz Hansen design department, the premium Moss upholstery from Kvadrat and the finely detailed leather piping give the Egg™ chair a unique new look. Available only in 2023, this configuration brings together the sublimely textured Moss fabric in a tranquil tone and a light grey hand-sawn leather piping, that delicately accentuates the organic shapes of this Danish design masterpiece. Purchase the chair on its own or with a matching footstool for ultimate relaxation and support.
